CLEANING INTERIOR
Occasionally remove loose dust from the interior trim,
plastic parts and seats using a vacuum cleaner or soft
bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with
a clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap solution,
then wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.
.
.
Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or
alkali contents to clean the wheels.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in the winter, it is
necessary to clean the vehicle’s underbody regularly in
order to prevent dirt and salt from building up and
causing the acceleration of corrosion on the under-
body and suspension.
Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels
when they are hot. The wheel temperature
should be the same as ambient temperature.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather.
.
Rinse the wheel to completely remove the
cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is
applied.
Before the winter and again in the spring, the under-
seal must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
Before using any fabric protector, read the manufac-
turer’s recommendations. Some fabric protectors
contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the seat
material.
WHEELS
CHROME PARTS
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a nonabrasive
chrome polish to maintain the finish.
.
Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to
maintain their appearance.
Use a soft cloth dampened only with water to clean the
meter and gauge lens covers.
.
Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel
is changed or the underside of the vehicle is
washed.
WARNING:
.
.
Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the
wheels.
For the model with the Advanced Air Bag
system, do not use water or acidic cleaners
(hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This can
damage the seat or occupant classification
sensors. This can also affect the operation of
the air bag system and result in serious personal
injury.
Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion.
This may cause loss of pressure or damage the
tire bead.
.
NISSAN recommends that the road wheels be
waxed to protect against road salt in areas where
it is used during winter.
CAUTION:
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge dampened in
a mild soap solution, especially during winter in areas
where road salt is used. The salt residue from road salt
could discolor the wheels if it is not washed off
regularly.
.
.
Never use benzine, thinner or any similar
material.
Small dirt particles can be abrasive and
damaging to leather surfaces and should be
removed promptly. Do not use saddle soap,
car waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids,
solvents, detergents or ammonia-based
cleaners as they damage the natural leather
finish.
CAUTION:
Follow the directions below to avoid staining or
discoloring the wheels:
